I can help you lose weight and it won’t cost you a cent – Bangor Daily News

Its true, I can help you to lose weight for free. Ive been trying to do that for 3 years when I started writing this blog in April 2014. In that time Ive received comments and emails that lead me to believe Ive helped a lot of folks.

Ive also received emails and comments that accuse me of being self-serving. You work forWeight Watchers. You only want people to join Weight Watchers.

Well, yeah, I do work for Weight Watchers and if somebody is inclined to pay for help to lose weight, then I absolutely hope its Weight Watchers they chose. Thats what I chose when I wanted professional help because I believed and still do believe its the best commercial weight loss service there is.

US News and World Report ranks Weight Watchers #1

My before picture snapped by my 9-year-old daughter, June 1990. I didnt want to wear a bathing suit, but I felt good about myself as a mother. Im a great mother and its okay to say so.

Now that Ive been working for Weight Watchers for 26 years and know a lot more about nutrition science, exercise physiology, the psychology of change, and human weight management Im more convinced than ever. So readers of my blog can benefit from my personal experience and knowledge and need not ever pay me a cent.

Now that thats out of the way, lets get some weight off you. My first question Ill need answered to evaluate your chance of success is to ask you, why do you want to lose weight?

All of these are good reasons for wanting to lose weight, but some of them are better. The better ones are the ones that suggest you want to move towards something positive such as dating, health, or wanting to look and feel good.

The ones that are good, but not as good, are the ones that are trying to get away from a painful or uncomfortable feeling such as losing weight to shut up the fat shamers, to please a spouse, because youre uncomfortable about your weight or you just dont feel good about yourself.

Any one of those reasons is yourWHY. The whys that are moving away from pain are good to get started but not as effective to take you through the whole journey. Thats because you may only need to lose a fraction of the weight you want to lose to get to goal before yourwhy isnt motivational anymore.

Whats more important about yourwhyis the last one on the list which is to feel better about yourself. Not feeling good about yourself stops more successful weight loss attempts than supports them. The better you feel about yourself the greater your chances are of reaching your goal.

The reason is simple. If you dont feel good about yourself, your self talk is disparaging and overwhelmingly negative. You beatyourself up for every mistake real or perceived you might make. You give yourself negative messages about everything from how smart you are, to how strong you are, to how much willpower you have. Rather than support yourself with empowering beliefs your mind searches forthe ways in which you couldfail in any circumstance.

The first thing I want you to do before you even start making changes to your eating behaviors is to separate who you are from what you weigh. Make a list of all your great qualities. Its okay to say what makes you great even though it may feel wrong and boastful at first. Youre smart and its okay to say so.

I was smart and articulate before I lost weight, but what I learned during the process of losing weight and maintaining my loss gave me confidence to share my knowledge on Maine news broadcasts.

Recognize your intelligence, accomplishments, compassion, empathy, all your roles, be they daughter, son, mother, grandmother, father, grandfather, sister, brother, teacher, manager, etc. You wear a lot of hats and you wear them well. Thats who you are and you can feel good about being that person.

What you weigh should never be a reason not to feel good about yourself. You are not what you weigh, youre who you are. You are awesome at any weight.

The better you feel about yourself, the more success youll have with your weight related goals.
